To be really specific: any number of tabs AND/OR spaces (i.e. any
number of tab, space, or both, in any quantity and any order). And as
Udi pointed out, and I'm sure you know, "any number" includes zero.
$ perl -e 'print "\nregexp is \"",q/2[3a]*b/,"\":\n\n";for(qw(123abc \
12a3a3abc 1233333bc 12bc)){print"$_ matches\n"if/2[3a]*b/;}'
regexp is "2[3a]*b":
123abc matches
12a3a3abc matches
1233333bc matches
12bc matches

Reply to list please, or append "6" to "procmail" in address if you must.
Spammers' unrelenting address harvesting forces me to this...reluctantly.
